I used one processor of a dual 1GH Mac and got the same answer with the
following speed:
$Version
4.2 for Mac OS X (June 4, 2002)
oldmax = $MaxPrecision
6
1. 10
$MaxPrecision = Infinity
Infinity
With[{n = 2^26}, Timing[
pd = RealDigits[N[Pi, n + 1], 10, 20,
19 - n]; ]]
{28794.1 Second, Null}
MaxMemoryUsed[]
512055204
pd
{{3, 3, 8, 6, 3, 2, 2, 0, 8, 9, 6, 2, 2, 3,
4, 0, 9, 8, 0, 3}, -67108844}
